Intelligent Trees: More Than Meets the Eye

What can we do differently now that we know how vital trees are to our environment?

A “tree” is only what we see above ground. Below the surface, the interconnectedness of the forest—or a few trees on your home’s land—is a complex system of communication and nurture. Watch this video and think about what it really means when we strip the forests.

Intelligent Trees is a new documentary is by German forester, author, and tree expert, Peter Wohlleben, along with Suzanne Simard, who is an ecologist from the University of British Columbia. Watch the trailer below to get a glimpse into it.

“They can form bonds like an old couple, where one looks after the other. Trees have feelings”

Here was the first of our conversations on Climate Change by the Elements: AIR

There will be more. It’s up to us to spread the word about the impending apocalypse.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
